Likely: Quite possibly it is your period. The bleeding will vary depending on if you had a suction D+C after your miscarriage or not. I am sorry for your loss. You should avoid unprotected intercourse after a miscarriage until after you have your first menses or the bHCG returns to zero. You should have discussed this with your doctor.
